No, but not a lot. ABS provides some very basic info of registered vehicles by make and there were only about 23000 Alfa Romeos registered in 2013 and that number crept up by about 1000 through to 2018... Obviously plenty of older (or not so old) vehicles being deregistered. ABS estimates attrition at about 4% / annum (overall - no comment on what might atrophy faster).

Doesn't really help with your question but it might be of interest to someone.

VFACTS was where I got this info when i worked in the industry. I wonder if they could help?

Was looking at this yesterday. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, which publishes VFACTS, has all the data but charges a fortune for their monthly sales reports and will slug you god knows how much for a tailored report with the info you are chasing. Plus you have to agree not to republish or share the info.

i rekon there is a chance that if you tell them you are a car club, they ,ight provide you the data gratis.

the paid service is for commercial use

Would be nice to think so, but I doubt they would drop the restriction on sharing the info.

Is it just me, or are the asking prices of current secondhand 159s going upwards?

They're more expensive than last year, when I picked up my (then) 54k 2.2JTS Ti for around $11,000.

Nowadays, there's only 28 159s for sale on CarSales.com.au

But as for the original sales from dealers when new, not sure. I'd like to know too!

Comparatively, it'd be interesting to compare to the new dealer sales of the Saab 900 Aero, which I used to run around in. Just curious.

Out of interest, Wonder how many 159 3.2 Q4/Awd Ti's were bought/ sold into Aus. I remember a post which said only 100 GTA 3.2's Busso's were bought in originally. Not too many 159 3.2 Ti's for sale!
